Baptist Medical Center Burn Survivor Support Group
Oklahoma City
Oklahoma

We've been here for thirteen years. The group was founded by burn survivors at the burn center at Baptist Medical Center. We speak the language of concern and understanding and would love to listen to your story. A lot of good practical information about physical, mental and spiritual recovery is offered. It's a place to meet people like yourself and share in this unique experience. We receive support from Baptist, but are an independent group. We meet on the third Sunday of the month at 3 p.m. in basement conference room "E" at Baptist Medical Center, 3300 NW Expressway. Please join us!

Contact: For more information contact Anita Harward (405) 949-3345 or Jan Lundy (405) 943-5389.
